Minds Token Launch Today! Earn For Contributions Or Buy 💡

Hey everyone! So today I have something really special and cool to share with you! Minds another amazing blockchain social media platform that I've been on for several months is finally launching their "Minds" token and going fully live.

I've included a video to go along with this which generally explains the same concepts and I do an overview of Minds.

Also, before you start, check out this awesome infographic to get a decent summary of the platform!

Introduction

They have managed to build such a great platform that includes groups, messaging, advertising and many other features we don't have here quite yet that I believe Steem can even learn from. Their code is open source and peer reviewable which is great for transparency and I'd like to just quickly share some useful blogs first with you that I've wrote that you might benefit from as a newer user.

What Is Minds?

Well Minds is like Steemit, but the usage doesn't require as much technical understanding which I think is really important for onboarding people who have no previous experience with blockchain technologies which could then help them transition to using Steem as well. It's got the same basic features but also has a bit more.

Basic Functions

Minds is bit closer to Twitter or Busy.org on Steem with their UI and I really like it. It's very easy to use and you can identify explicit content, share with everyone, or just with specific people. They have a great deal of customization to your blogs and options for setting up your metadata.

It supports video, images, blogs, and short posts. Pretty much everything

This is my profile which you can see how much customization you can add

You can set rewards for people too and make premium content if you want

And you can boost your posts using your earned tokens

You can do so much more and this is just the tip of the ice berg! I highly encourage you to explore more on your own!

My Minds Blogs

Below are a few of my really informative blogs about Minds to help you learn more!

The reason why this is such a big deal is because now people can really get into investing as well as earning withdraw-able funds from Minds. They have an amazing and intuitive application for Android and iOS so they have covered pretty much everything.

If you're not already using Minds, now is the time to get in so you can get yourself established and really become a part of their community. I love Minds and Steemit and I would be thrilled to have everyone using both as they can both compliment each other and are on the same team for blockchain censorship resistant social.

Earning Rewards

This table is from their whitepaper again showing the weighted score of each transaction which can also be found within Minds in your wallet

You essentially earn from everything you do and you can treat it like a normal social platform and all the while earn tokens which you can withdraw or use for boosting (promoting) yourself or your posts. You can even boost other people's content too or send tokens for premium content from creators!

You get your reward based on the multiplier to your total network score and you can see a history of all this in your contributions section of your wallet which acts as an accounting measure as well as an insight/analytics indicator for how well you are doing.

They have countless resources and the devs are very involved and helpful so I highly recommend checking it out at the very least.

This is my account profile and I can definitely say I've had a lot of fun using this platform and I have great hopes for it moving forward! Let me know what you guys think of the platform and if you do decide to create a new account use my referral link :)

Again I'm very excited for this and I really want to hear from you on what you think, if you are already on there, if you're going to check it out now, and if not, why? Cheers!

Bernie, I'll switch the tag. Nothing using #steem is about steem... Why not attack the other posts about fomo3D? I'm not trying to compete Minds with Steem I like them both and encourage using both. Won't post on #Steem moving forward

Sounds to me more like someone is jealous'z'fah... I've been waiting for minds tokens to become a real thing for some time now.

Steems system of having content only holding value for the attention it receives in 7 days is a broken system. Minds algorithm is far superior for more just distribution of what the blockchain produces.

This will likely become the fiercest opposition to the steemit platform.

Yeah idk apparently I'm the baddest of the bunch so I'll take my punishment. Something I think we really need is standardization at least for what the unspoken rules are supposed to be.

That's the thing, for me.... it's not about how they are competing and they don't need to, but if you get attacked for sharing about it, that creates the heat and conflict. On Minds I talk about Steem all the time, even the devs of Minds will repost my posts about Steem.

every people said earn this and that but never earn a penny from internet wow what a joke every one on internet is a guru and selling their courses and we are so stupid to buy their course and cant earn a penny.

I appreciate your optimism surrounding the minds token, but I don't think it holds much against steem. Sure it might have a better UI/UX than steemit, but can it topple utopian, busy, musing, dlive, etc?

See steemit is not even hardly trying yet to be a good user experience, but steem is so powerful that developers have built many different experiences and tools on top. Frankly, Minds coulda woulda shoulda built on steem.

The fact that they are launching on ethereum makes me question if anybody over there even knows what they are doing. They will be mapping to another blockchain within two years I bet, either a graphene chain, komodo or some other, more scaleable tech.

I had Minds before I had Steemit. The quality of content here is way better than that in Minds. Most users are just sharing pictures they copied from the internet. And there is even no caption! It does not encourage conversation unlike Steemit which is somewhat akin to Google plus in terms of engagement. 😁

Sure! I see for example how you are posting this on Steem! Well, I have heard of minds, and I know a lot of people use them both. I haven't made it over there yet, I am quite invested here with my time and effort, and have been rewarded quite a bit here, so perhaps I am very loyal to Steem.

I just don't see why, other than 'name recognition', any application would post on ethereum, which is quite an overloaded, slow, and getting slower network.

Competition in a FREE MARKET is a good thing. Sadly the markets have not been that free for some time and they seem to be going further and further from FREE such that competitors are seen as enemies to be censored, squashed, etc rather than competed with. Sad days.

I do agree that Ethereum seems like a poor choice due to performance and scalability. They are saying they will fix that, but as they get more and more sub-tokens that becomes more and more difficult.

Very true! And you are right as I got attacked for posting this :/ I just wanted to spread the news because I think they work well together. A lot of times I use Minds to promote Steem (most of the time really).

Honestly, ICO's nowadays having so bad reputation due to some of them end up scam and not even reach in the exchange. Only few, succeed to be listed on the exchange but theres another problem, its price drops sonbadly that its lower than the price during ICO. But anyway, maybe this Mind token will be one of the few successful ICO and worth a try. 😊

nowadays? Name a few ICO's that actually mean something and that actually has a value, because there isn't any. i can name a max of 3 ICO's that are doing just as 'good' as bitcoin litecoin Ether, but 9 out of 10 shitcoins (sorry, i mean ICO coins) are doomed to fail.

I found you there through the Blogs section, and am now following you on both social networks.

I had created a minds.com account long ago but I had never really used it. I've just started paying attention to what the platform has to offer because of their token finally going live on the Ethereum main net.

Your video was exactly what I needed in order to learn about boosting, thanks. I also find it very interesting that we can pin up to three different postings on our account page.

The number of blockchain based social media project increased a lot lately and until this very moment, Steemit is the only project that seems to be doing well. I see that Mind Token have different aspects and more new features which is something to look forward, I will give it a look and see if it is really offeres something new.

as i keep following you, you give me more and more reason to listen to you more. even so i am a newbie over here.
Right you are for knowing good
Every little thing you said
So enticing it makes one think
Truth be told this epiphany
Emerged from my very soul
Escaped now it wants to show
Mastering the facts you said
This will be my mission
History is saying
Interpret it your way
Seriously now, this was great..

I am a bit new in steem and this tale has helped me to apprehend a chunk like this platform was earlier than, I simply noticed all the help you give to the users because I have been working on it for a few days now could be high-quality, I would love someday to be one of these folks that obtain your assist, I will constantly be helping you within the comments, my buddy, I am hoping you have got a pleasant afternoon.

Reading your blog. Sounds interesting and enticing to me. Reading all about these are going to or seems to be overwhelmingly endless, as I am just getting my feet wet and getting used on the maze of steemit. We'll, see. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the summery.

I am also on Minds and go there. It's less interactive as I've seen here on Steem ecosystem, but I like the UI and the way it works almost autonomously. Here it feels you really have to WORK for it. Thanks for the breakdown!

Thank for the breakdown @scottcbusiness Im new in steemit and i do think is good to post on mind too as we use the same time to build original and quality content. Posted to Mind is another paltform to expose. Will check it out later.

What I like about Minds.com, as compared to Steemit, is that I can grab a news story link and the interface pulls in the image and abstract so I can then provide my thoughts on the story.
It is SO EASY!
Steemit, please institute this capability!!! Until then, most of my posts end up on Minds (even though I am a huge fan of Steemit) because it is much less time consuming to post.

In Present time some ICO's having bad impression on crypto lovers. Some coin ends up with scams. They could not reach even in the exchange list.
So it is not easy to trust on new ICO. Hope so MINDS will grow well in the crypto market.

Steem is the best blockchain ever! I've never experienced an online community where my desire to create has been so uninhibited. I'm free to create content as I wish and others are free to read it. The beauty is in the simplicity and uncensored nature of this system that affords us a place to be free and explore.
